Anyone Recognize this Winch Bumper

Man, that is a sweet ride. Did you build that?

The truck, yes....Camper no. I had it build by Phoenix Popup Campers in Denver in 2011. It's like a Four Wheel Camper with an aluminum frame, except Phoenix makes each camper to order so no two are alike. Whereas, FWC builds cookie cutter campers and have a camper that fits any truck but, fit nothing well. I had mine built narrow so it wouldn't stick past the bed and short so the tailgate could be retained

Have a friend that has the hard side fiberglass. He and his wife love it. But it’s a little heavy to go out with us in deep snow.

Ben gave me the word that my winch mount has shipped so I decided to pull off the old winch bumper Saturday and make sure I had all my parts ready for the OEM bumper mount. Did a quick mockup.

Old winch mount....

Every time I climb under this truck I'm amazed how clean it is. I've never had one so rust-free.

Here's a test fit of the OEM bumper...

Do you use it hard enough to be concerned about ripping the control box off the winch?

 

[Wes Harden]

Yeah that kinda scares my too.
